Whatsapp is estimated to be used by two billion people and they send 100 billion messages every day through appilation. Nevertheless, Facebook, which owns the popular “chat” program, does not rest on its laurels. And he is preparing several major news, the first of which should be available later this week.
1. Easier free space and better storage management
This is a novelty that is to start pedaling for users from all over the world this week, he writes portal The Verge. Thanks to the changes, it will be easier for people using Whatsapp, among other things, to delete files in bulk and free up space on their phone or tablet.
For example, users will only be able to search for posts that take up more than 5 megabytes or messages that they have forwarded many times. And if they decide to delete some of it, they will also have previews available. You will find these functions directly in the application in the menu Settings – Storage and data – Storage management.
2. Automatic message deletion
A new automatic message deletion feature will also appear in Whatsapp in the near future. Although not yet available, the application is already available on the official website news description also in Czech, he pointed out portal dotekomanie.cz.
Users will be able to turn on in a particular chat to automatically delete messages after seven days. Even if a person does not even open the application at that time.
As for photos and videos – the program will also automatically delete them from the chat after turning on the function. But because Whatsapp automatically saves all of these files to the memory of the device you’re using by default, automatic deletions can “survive.” Likewise, anyone can take a photo of a chat message, for example, before the application deletes it.
3. Pairing devices
A novelty, which will probably take a long time to implement, is the possibility to connect more devices on which people use Whatsapp. It now only goes through the web, but it’s relatively clumsy, he points out British Express.
If, for example, you want to turn on Whatsapp on both your phone and computer, you must bring it to your computer and open it with a charged smartphone specific page and then scan a special QR code.
According to Express, the new update, which is already in the testing phase, will allow one account in Whatsapp to connect up to four devices at once.
Whatsapp also has a number of hidden features. Play the video:
